I was not at all impressed when I last visited the White Swan just over six months ago. From memory the beer was just about OK, but not outstanding, and there was an alarming lack of other customers. But the Swan seems to have since undergone a radical transformation. It has been mentioned in the Derby CAMRA news sheets and seeing the number of cars in the car park when I passed yesterday, I decided to try it again. There was a beer festival taking place with 12 real ales available on handpump. I opted for the Joules Pale Ale which was superb, but more encouragingly, the pub was full of punters eating and drinking. Whoever is in I/C seems now seems to have a winning formula. The slight downside was the lack of staff … OK, it may have been a temporary glitch, but there seemed to be only one lady serving beer and being the waitress. collecting glasses etc., etc, The bottom line is that whoever is now running the White Swan is doing a very good job and deserves to be supported … steve2905 - 7 Apr 2011 02:54 |
| Further to Swanie07's comments, Management has now changed, under lease to a previous Licensee - custom is picking up, food has also improved. Long live the Swan, and a big welcome back to BD! samihancock - 18 Jan 2009 20:03 |
| I started working in the swan about 4months ago now, unfortunatly since ive been there ive had 3 different managers so far. Its cahnged emmencley in the last 4 months. The decor has picked up but sadley the custom has gone down and id just like to say give it chance and if you have'nt been in there before give it a go. As they say things can only get better! swanie07 - 3 Sep 2007 01:31 |
| Friendly local pub. Pub grub type menu, all meals under £5 but great quality, particularly the steaks. Very good quality real ales - always at least 5 on. Great landlord. Derby in Bloom winner on several occasions. samihancock - 10 Aug 2005 19:10 |
| Went to this pub last night for the first time even though I've been living nearby for ages. It was really pleasant. I had some of the nicest, cheapest and most generously proportioned pub food I've had in a long time with quick and friendly service. There was a warm atmosphere and although there was a football match on TV, it wasn't obtrusive in the back bar. Highly recommended. thegooddoctor - 9 Feb 2005 13:29 |
